I talk to people every single day who have been looking for work for months and months and months, and they reveal to me that they feel guilty or ashamed that it's taking them so long to find a job.
When job seekers admit this to me, I explain to them all of the factors that are impacting their ability to get hired.
Don't Feel Ashamed. Get Strategic.
Depending on what kind of job you're looking for and where you're looking for work, you could be having a much harder time in your job search than other people. Your friends and family might look at you and say, "What's the problem? Why can't you get a job?" and you're telling them that you're trying and it is way more difficult than they think.
I don't want you to feel ashamed because you shouldn't. But what you do need to do is understand what's working in this market. You have to look for work differently.
In a hypercompetitive job market, you first need to understand what's happening so that you can change your approach. Then, you need to zero in on the types of strategies that will actually get you results.
If you're somebody who's felt that shame or that confusion around your job search and you want to learn more, I recommend you sign up for my Job Search BOOTCAMP.
This event could very well be the best $10 you've ever spent because I'm going to explain to you exactly what's going on and, more importantly, what you can do about it.
I would really love to help you close your knowledge gaps so that you can finally get that new, better-paying job you want and deserve.
Good luck! Go get 'em.
